  • Fix race condition where unsummarizing alerts would result in incorrect alert counts
  • Option/link to re-summarize alerts
    • Normal alert summarization ignores read alerts and already summarized alerts, this functionality doesn't.
    • Automatically marks summary alerts as read.
    • Has a configurable flood timer (default 10 seconds), as this functionality is implemented as unsummarize all alerts, mark them as unread, and then summarize.
      • Note; if you need a flood timer longer than your general post flood timer; please use Redis Flood Check (free) add-on to bypass the limitations of the XF mysql-based flood timer.
  • Tweak wording on Alert Preferences page
  • Add phrases for admin changelog

  • Simplify SQL that marks alerts as read when viewing content.
  • Prevent an SQL error if the user has 65535 alerts and marks another alert as unread.
  • When marking alerts as read on a page, do a select first to determine how many alerts are still unread.
    • This is intent to reduce rows locked when doing the UPDATE.
    • If splitting of read/writes is done, this will allow the slave servers to be checked for any outstanding alerts instead of hitting the master.
  • Support PREVENT_MARK_READ debug option
  • When viewing a user's profile page, mark any relevant alerts from that page as read.
  • Add a "mark all as read" link to the alerts page.
  • Allow users to not mark-as-read all alerts when viewing account/alerts page, setting is on account/preferences page.
    • Instead of requiring knowledge of the non-documented "skip_mark_read" argument for the same functionality
